That's not a strong third.

Sure it is, considering his low national numbers.

And he's only 6 points behind Huckabee.

The title reminds me of how the media reported poll numbers leading up to the 2012 primaries. "Romney still in first, Herman Cain second, and Bachmann in fourth."

I am starting to become of the opinion that on election night 2016 if it is Paul vs Clinton, the media will report: "So far the popular vote shows Hillary in first place, with the Libertarians pulling a strong third place of .8%"

For someone from a neighboring state and one demographically similar to Iowa, that is poor.
